Mina was coughing up water as Trudge kept a hold of her. While Miles, Leo, and Luna caught Akiza up on what had happened
"Good thing you turned on that tracer" Trudge said as Mina nodded
"I had bad feeling about this place, turns out I was to turn it on" she said coughing
"Take it easy now okay" Trudge said holding Mina.
"And that's everything that's happened. With you and Jack that makes 4 sub reactors. If Goodwin's plan worked…"
"And I'd say with the those dark signers disappearing that means it did" Leo said
"But were still not sure, I mean sure their gone but what about their leader and …"
"Can I finish!?" Miles said cutting off Leo and Luna, slightly aggravated. "If it worked then our job is done, no 10,000 years of darkness coming all because we took out the 4 sub reactors" Miles said as he gave Akiza a pat on the shoulder when he noticed she looked sad "Hey what's the matter we won" he said
"Yes but… Misty…." She said as the twins and Miles looked at Akiza "I mean I did what I had to do, but I did it in anger and not for the reason I should have." She said shrugging off Miles shoulder "I…I just killed someone" she said as Miles let out a breath and Luna began to think. Through her actions Devack was sent away as well, probably never returning. But he was evil to the end, he willing wanted to hurt people unlike Misty. But did that make it right? Miles sighed looking at Akiza then at Luna, still in thought
"Well we don't know if they're gone…" he said as Akiza and Luna looked at him "I mean do either of you know what disappearing into pixie dust really means?" he said as Akiza let out a small chuckle and Miles smiled at making her laugh "Let's not think about it too much, for now we did it" He said as he knelt down and gave Leo and Luna a group hug. Akiza chuckled again and nodded
"For now you might be right" she said with a small smile as Miles got up
"Jeez Miles care to tell us any other bad jokes" Leo asked receiving a little tap on the shoulder from Miles
"Oh yeah I still got tons" he said as everyone laughed a little.
Looking toward New domino city, the 6 heroes exited the twisted theme park. Luna staying very close Miles as his spirits floated by his sides
"So party at our place?" Leo asked as Miles chuckled
"No Leo first things first I gotta get this out" He said flicking at the rock in his chest as Akzia made a disgusted face
"Don't point that out again, it's creepy" she said
"Hey I don't like having this thing in my chest either fyi" he said as she rolled her eyes
"Well don't mention it again, because if Goodwin can't help you I will. I'm sure my dad can find a great cardiologist to treat you" she said as Luna chipped
"Yeah right after he freaks at seeing the living dead" she joked slightly gripped her shoulder and looked down at Luna
"Brains!" he said his mouth hung open as he chomped loud and spity
"Ew Miles!" She said pushing away from him as he and Leo laughed, along with Mina and Trudge. As they got Miles runner, with Trudge's car parked next to it, they began to hop on when the earth shook. Everyone held on to whatever they could as the event happened, Miles holding onto Luna through the whole thing. As the event stopped everyone looked at each other
"What was that about?" Akiza asked as Mina pointed
"Guys look over at New domino" she said as they all looked and saw something shocking. Another dark signer line mark, this one shaped like a huge bird
"But how?" Miles asked
" Maybe Jack didn't beat his signer yet?" Trudge suggested
"But why would a earthquake happen for his, none of the other one's did that?" Mina said as Miles hopped on his runner and Leo and Luna hopped in the side car
"Whatever it is we should go check it out!" Leo said as Miles nodded
"C'mon!" Miles said as Akiza, Mina, and Trudge hopped into his car and drove after them. They drove towards thunder not happening to far from where they were, only because this thunder struck purple and dark, clear indicator of darkness afoot. As they got to the source they stopped seeing a gigantic hole in the ground, bubbling with something dark and gooey.
"Hey!" they all heard a voice yell as they saw 3 duel runners making their ways to them and stopping in the dust as they got to them.
"Yusei" Akiza said as he nodded and Crow and Jack dismounted their runners
"Let me guess you all came because of the lightning too?" Jack asked
"That and the earthquake" Miles said
"Akiza did you beat your dark signer?" Yusei asked
"Yes I did and I deactivated the tower too, Jack beat his right?"
"Yes I did" He answered as Lightning struck into the hole as glowing red eyes emerged in it
"Then why is this happening?" Luna asked in a panic as something began to fly out of the hole. Goopy and sloppy, dripping pieces of itself as it came to be. A dark dragon stood and roared as it's body slopped over the ground. Everyone jumped at the arrival of this new threat
"How…?" Crow started
"I have no idea" Yusei said as his and everyone's mark began to glow, even Miles. At the strike of red lightning a roar was heard as everyone looked to the sky and saw it. The crimson dragon had emerged, everyone felt a little relived thinking that it would fight this monster but instead it was rushing to them
"What's it doing!?" Trrudge asked as everyone braced themselves as the crimson dragon phased through them. Then as its red aura went through them the felt themselves being lifted and wisked away, within moments that feeling had faded and they found themselves not in the same place they were before. Rubble was all around them, like something had been destroyed, and above them in the sky was the mark of the big bird they saw from the satellite.
"Were back in new domino" Mina said as Miles spotted something that towered over the rubble
"Hey guys whats that?" He pointed as everyone gazed at the tower
"Wait, that's the tower from goodwin's mansion" Jack said
"So that means…" Leo began
"This is his mansion" Luna finished
"But why is there a giant…? Akiza started
"Condor in the sky!" Goodwin yelled from nowhere, his voice booming as they saw something slight but noticeable from atop the tower.
"Goodwin?" Yusei asked as Goodwin chuckled
"Yes it is I, and I thank my sacrifices for starting this revolution!"
"Huh what the heck are you talking about!?" Crow demanded
"Oh ho don't you see your quest was meaningless" he said
"What do you mean!?" Miles yelled as Goodwin looked down at them
"Since ancient times the darkness would rise and five signers would rise to fight it defeating the dark signers until the darkness rose from the depths" he said
"But that's not what happened, we stopped the sub reactors that were releasing the dark energy" Yusei said as Goodwin whole heartedly laughed, putting everyone on edge.
"No you did not, you did quite the opposite turning them on to overload so they'd pump out the last dark energy I needed to summon the darkness from the underworld!" he said as everyone looked shocked
"But why!" Miles demanded
"Easy, with the power of both light and dark I shall rework the world into the perfect society I see fit, no more war no more anger or hatred!"
"All lead by a man who would so willing use those tactics to further his won ends!" Jack yelled
"You have a big mouth Atlas. I will miss it when you all are gone" he said
"What does that mean?" Leo asked
"The ritual where the crimson dragon is summoned requires 5 signers to be sacrificed for him to conquer the darkness. Or in other words unleash his full power" he said as he grabbed a canister from behind him, it glowing red like everyone's sign
"What's in that thing!?" Yusei yelled as his and everyone's sign burned on their arms.
"Behold the fifth sign! The Mark my brother held!" he said as Yusei gasped
"That's Roman's arm!?" he said as good win nodded. The dark light of his dark sign gave him a purplish hue as he reached for his left arm and tore it off, metal clanking as it hit the ground. Everyone but jack was surprised at this, him already knowing of Goodwin's metal implant
"Now with the powers of darkness I posses this arm will become mine!" he said as he opened the canister and took out his brothers glowing arm and put it where his metal one was. The same dark light wrapped it's way around Goodwin's new arm, mending it in place as it took hold. He was now both a signer and dark signer. Everyone's sign began to burn as Goodwin's arm took place
"We won't let you get away with this!" Yusei yelled as a dark spot of energy burned its way on Goodwin's chest as he grinned
"I severly doubt that, however I do need one more favor, the ritual can not be complete without one last duel between I and a signer and when I win the energy from both these mythic beasts will be mine!" he yelled as he looked at the dark and crimson dragon making their way to new domino.
"And if we win!?" Miles yelled
"They simply go away, but you will not I've made certain of that" he said as Miles looked at Yusei
"Anyone want to nominate Yusei for the job?" Miles with a grin as Yusei with his casual look nodded
"Now hold on I'm not sitting on the sidelines either! I'm going to take down Goodwin too!" Jack said confidently as Yusei looked at him
"2 on 1 is better" he said
"Make that 3" Miles said as he took a step forward and his brother and sister looked at him
"If I might die tonight then I might as well go out fighting" he said as Yusei again nodded
"Well come on then. Alright Goodwin we accept your challenge!" Yusei yelled as Goodwin chuckled again
"We shall have a turbo duel on the sign of the condor!" he said as a glowing purple path that went up into the sky showed itself to the.
"It'll be 3 on you Goodwin! And were not going to lose to you, you twisted old man"
"Whether it be one or all of you on me the result will be the same, I will win." He said solemnly as Miles sneered at him
"Let's beat this guy already he said as the three began for their runners. Not noticing Goodwin's signer mark disappear from his arm. Then everyone elses marks disappeared, including Miles. As he got to his runner he collapsed as his mark faded
"Miles!" Luna gasped as she and Leo ran over to him, his breathing began to get spastic as his jacket began to stain red as the rock in his chest began to hurt him again.
"No…" Miles let out as everyone else ran over to him
"What's going on?" Jack asked
"What happened to our signs?" Akiza asked as Yusei upon realizing their signs were gone looked to Goodwin. Around the dark mark on his chest now glew red, the sign of the crimson dragon now on him
"He took them…." Yusei said as Miles shaked and coughed while Luna held onto him. Miles looked at Yusei
"Go…already…" he said as Crow looked at Yusei
"I'll duel for him, besides you, me, and Jack already know how we duel" he said as Yusei looked down at Miles. He hestitantly nodded, not wanting to leave his friend in need.
"Let's go!" He commanded as the three hopped on their runners and charged for Goodwin.
"Miles…"Luna said sadly as Leo looked at him sadly too
"There's gotta be something we can do?" Akiza said to Mina and Trudge
"He's stabbed through the heart there's nothing we can do for him" Trudge said bluntly as Mina slapped him
"Don't say that!" Mina yelled at him as she crouched down to Miles and tried to look at his chest "Ugh…" she wanted to say how bad this was, but restrained herself for Leo and Luna.
As the duel began and Yusei, Jack, and Crow fought hard against Goodwin, Miles breathing began to shallow
"Miles please hang on!" Luna cried at him as his hearing began to go, and his vision fogged
"Please don't, Miles!" Leo cried out too as something did get through to Miles, a roar. With his last strength he looked up to see the dragon was almost there. He charged a dark ball in his mouth as Miles realized that it was trying to sacrifice them now. Miles quickly reached up to his runner drew three cards then played them on his duel disk. Silent swordsman, Silent Magician, and Colossal fighter all appeared as everyone looked at the, seeing the dragon coming for them.
"Attack!" Miles yelled choking on his breath as they charged at the dragon and uppercutted his mouth so the blast he was charging fired upward. Miles fell onto the ground, below his runner and looked at Leo and Luna. They were so scared, Luna's eyes tearing along with Leo's as they kept telling Miles to hang on. But it was over. Miles with his last bit of strength rose his arm and poked Leo in the chest. He looked at him and said
"Protect…. Her…" Leo then began to yell soething he couldn't hear as Miles looked at Luna and store into her eyes. Nothing would come fro his throat to tell her what she meant to him. So before it happened he smiled at her then nothing
Still air could be felt now, as Miles left the earth
"NO!" Luna yelled as she collapsed below Miles and Leo just starred at his body like a zombie. Trudge and Mina tried to comfort them but Luna wasn't having any of it, she was just so at lost at what had happened and Leo had just gone numb to the world
"THIS SHALL NOT BE THE END!" Goodwin yells at Yusei
"Your no god and I'll show you, majestic star dragon attack!" Yusei yelled as his dragon spread it's wings and in super speed pierced Goodwin's earthbound immortal as it exploded. Goodwin had lost
With that the dark dragon ceased as it began to fade. The crimson dragon then did as it was meant too, blasted the darkness with light and then faded away. The darkness had now been defeated. The condor mark faded as Majestic star dragon caught Crow and Jack as Yusei rode upon it.
"He won" Akiza said as her arm glew again. Her mark had returned, as did Luna's. Akiza gasped at the return of her mark then bent down and found Miles arm. His mark was there but faded, diming slightly but his eyes were moving a little "Luna look!" she said as Luna looked up and saw him twitching
"He's alive!" she yelled as Leo awoke from his numbness.
"He's… he's… ow!" Leo yelped as he looked at his bandaged arm.
"What's the matter?" Mina asked as Leo looked at his bandage, something odd about it. He grabbed the loose end of it and started unwrapping his arm till he saw the the large cut on his arm from earlier was gone, healed. And that Miles sword mark was dimly on his arm as well. Luna looked at him funy as they saw that his mark was as dimly lit as Miles yet Luna's and Akiza mark were glowing twice as bright as their's
"This is officer Trudeg start a perimeter around Goodwin's mansion…" Trudge said, calling HQ "…bring a ambulance as well, a kid got hurt"
